The 2nd Annual Chicago Women's Funny Festival

Back again for another talent packed second year, the The 2nd Annual Chicago Women's Funny Festival is about to kick off with an insane amount of comedy options. The CWF Festival starts this week, running June 6th through the 9th and will feature HUNDREDS of mostly (like 97%) female comedic talent performing everything from stand-up to improv. Because of all the hectic activity with the gigantic JFL Festival
happening next week, a festival that has corporate PR connections and
millions of dollars behind it the CWF festival may be getting overshadowed, so we wanted be sure to put it on peoples radar since it's
happening this week.
Coincidently, the CWF Festival also has hundreds of talented comedic performers from all
over the country and is happening on many of the same stages, but just a week
earlier. Basically every kind of act you could imagine will be on display. The festival will feature both local and national acts including some of the best Chicago stand ups in the game like Megan Gailey, Candy Lawrence, Kelsie Huff, Ever Mainard, Kellye Howard and Kristen Toomey just to name a FEW.

And just because we obsess over such things, we put together a complete list of performers (had to painstakingly copy and paste from the website, your welcome...) names for you to peruse. Or you could just check out the names with bio info for yourselves. A long ass list of talent people. Check out the acts and get your tickets.
